PAGEEDITORS: Sarah Murray, Carolina Ribeiro, Tijana Canic Natland Note:(8/18/13) This is where I will post comments about suggested and necessary improvements to your page as you complete it while we are going over the content for your topic. Keep an eye on this note, as I will post new ones from time to time. NOTES:
This is a circuit designed by Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light bulb.
This is Edison's design for an electric telegraph that could send and receive signals faster than earlier models.
And of course, here is his design for the electric light bulb.
Here's a clear diagram of some of the symbols we saw in class, along with some others that seem interesting.

In this picture of a computer's circuit board, we see real life applications of what we've learned in class.
This is a circuit for a car. It's a more complicated version of what we've seen. I wouldn't want to calculate the Req of this!
Here's a cool trick to make sure you never miscalculate while using Ohm's Law!
This image contains the entrails of a capacitor, be warned
The only real reason angiosperms exist...to give us a battery and food in one package
It is very important not to forget to measure the voltage of your fruits prior to ingesting
A somewhat clearer image of how electrons flow in the wire
